Narendra Modi’s Gujarat Hat-Trick Sets Sights on Delhi
After the resounding hat-trick in the Gujarat elections, chief minister Narendra Modi is now “knocking on the doors of Delhi,”
In a recent editorial published in the Shiv Sena party mouthpiece Saamna, executive president Uddhav Thackeray acknowledged Narendra Modi’s impressive electoral performance in the Gujarat elections. Thackeray noted that Modi’s hat-trick victory in Gujarat has positioned him to potentially make a move for the national capital, stating that Modi is now “knocking on the doors of Delhi.”
Thackeray highlighted the significant opposition Modi faced from top Congress leaders, including Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and Rahul Gandhi, who criticized him heavily. Additionally, Thackeray mentioned the involvement of the CBI and various NGOs in attempting to tarnish Modi’s image on the international stage. Despite these efforts, Modi’s electoral success has demonstrated his enduring popularity and strength.
This editorial, published in 2012, marked a significant moment in Indian politics, as it recognized Modi’s growing influence and potential for future leadership at the national level.
